CTEK D250SE Dual DC-DC Charger
CTEK D250SE Dual DC-DC Charger
If you are converting a modern van with a stop/start and/or a regenerative system and you want to charge a leisure battery, you will need a split charge system that can cope with the complexities of the new systems.
These CTEK Battery to Battery chargers solve the problem, whilst also allowing you to connect a sloar panel directly into the charger.
If you want to be able to see the power usage and the available hours left in your leisure battery, see the CTEK D250SA Dual DC-DC 20A "OFF GRID" Charging System which has an additional power monitor.
Manufacturers Details.
With award winning Swedish technology, the dual input D250SE allows you to enjoy your vehicle more with maximized battery capacity as the ideal charger for vehicles without access to a mains power supply.
The D250SE is a fully automatic, 5 step charger that supplies up to 20A of power to any 12V lead acid, AGM or Lithium leisure battery from 40-300Ah, including Wet, EFB, MF, Ca/Ca, AGM, Lithium and Gel. It has selectable charge voltages for AGM batteries and can use power through its dual input from alternator, solar panel and wind power. When the service battery is fully charged, the D250SE will automatically redirect maintenance charge power to the starter battery. The D250SE can maintain a stable output up to 20A to vehicles fitted with smart ECU controlled alternators and also has a temperature sensor for optimised charging, regardless of weather conditions.
